﻿﻿Troop 799﻿﻿

We had fun on the Dismal Swamp Bike Trip. 10 scouts and 4 adults went on this trip. On Saturday morning, September 20, 2014 we left for Chesapeake, VA. Once we arrived, we unloaded the bikes at the front of the trail and started on the 7.5 mile trail/road. Mr. Heider provided great help for any issues there were before we started. The trail used to be used as a highway, but now serves as a bike path. Once we reached the end of the trail, we stopped to eat bagged lunches and then turned around to go back. On the way back, we stopped a couple times at some fishing docks in the canal. We then packed the bikes and drove 5 miles to Camp Moonyah. It is a Tidewater Council Camp right past a suburban neighborhood on a peninsula. The facilities were very basic, but overall the camp was nice. We were also accompanied by another Troop and a Cub Scout Pack in the campground. Early Sunday morning, we left the campground and headed home. Overall, we biked 17 miles, and had a lot of fun on a relatively easy, and interesting bike trip.
